Among the founders of the Justice League, there is a secret they all know but never discuss.
Kal-El, Metropolis's protector and the god among men, is the power behind the biotech giant Rao's Light. He also seems to have a life on Earth.

More than twenty years ago, the Kents had just finished a prenatal checkup when they found an unidentified object beyond their comprehension in a field, with a tiny baby nestled inside it.
Kal and Clark spent their overgrown Kansas youth together, then buried their sense of belonging to human society beneath Metropolis's blue skies.
On this small planet, home to more than three hundred nations and regimes, conflict among humans never ends.

The god among men looked into his lover's eyes, where the reflection of his red cape shone. Then he said,

Sinestro: I have proof too. Oa is hiding the truth. Kryptonian, this way.
Theme: Record the facts exactly as they are, without changing a word
